Album title: Death to the Planet Artist: The Comet is Coming Genre: Jazz/Electronica/Psych Rock Nationality: English Release date: April 22 Position in Discography: Second EP; third overall Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No Average RYM Score: N/A And another EP, this time one from a British jazz/electronica combo. Got to love the humour in the names of the members: Danalogue the Conqueror, King Shabaka and Betamax Killer! :laughing: The music? Oh hell that's pretty cool and smooth I must say. These guys utilise horns but in a way that makes it possible for me not to hate them or for them to grate on my nerves. Second track has more of the electronica about it, though still plenty of jazz personality with some great organ work too, very spooky. Well this is superb I must say. Really enjoyable and absorbing. I think if you're a fan of either genre, or just good music in general, you'll get something out of this. Check out more from this artist? Oh yes Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes Actual Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed10.jpg |

I feel like I liked some Animal Collective at some point but don't quote me on that.

Are you a cop? I know "off the record" with cops is just a scam to get you to confess.

Album title: ISON Artist: Sevdaliza Genre: Trip-hop/Alternative R&B/Avant-pop Nationality: Iranian Release date: April 26 Position in Discography: Debut Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No Average RYM Score: 3.30 Well this is just beautiful when it starts. Very downtempo and laid back, and since she's from Iran there's a very Middle Eastern tinge to the melody. And like wow: we're four tracks in and it only seems like one. Great stuff so far, some excellent piano melodies, great slow percussion, and this woman has a wonderful voice, haunting and ethereal but still strong and powerful. On “Hubris” she gives a great impression of a tortured soul, wailing out her frustration and pain, while there's some interesting phasing(?) effects in use on “Amandine Insensible”, but I really hate “Hero”, not just for the Autotune, the squeaky voice but also the general structure of the song. First track I haven't liked on this album though, let's hope it's the only one. It was going so well... Yeah, “Bluecid” quickly re-establishes the high quality here, with a moving, stirring backdrop of emotional soundscapes complementing Sevdaliza's ululating voice, “Love's Way” has a very evangelical feel to it with some warbly Church organ, the music very low-key, the vocal spoken rather than sung (don't ask me by who, but it's a man: might actually be a recording of some preacher), though I'm not crazy about “Human” to be honest. The breathy passion of “Grace” more than makes up for it, however, and the album finishes strongly with the simple yet powerful “Angel”. Check out more from this artist?

Album title: Herstory Artist: Young M.A Genre: Hip-hop Nationality: American Release date: April 27 Position in Discography: First EP; third overall Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No Average RYM Score: 2.62 Not sure if you should still be appending “Young” to your artist name when you're twenty-six years old, but whatever – I'm twice her age, so what do I know? Can't say I like her lazy-sounding delivery; there's something uninteresting about it, almost like she's sulking, I don't know. Still, it's only an EP, with a mere seven tracks, and we're through two of them already, so I guess we'll go on. Is that singing on “JOOTD”? Not her though I think, someone called Monica. Hmm. I really don't fancy this at all: very stripped-down, very bare bones and as I've already mentioned I don't like her voice. Other than that, it's fine. :) Actually, “Self M.Ade” is not bad really, and her voice has suddenly got more interested, more alive, bit more emotion, so maybe this is going to pick up? The trap in “Same Set” is all right too and it's not a bad EP but I won't be rushing out to illegally download her albums. Check out more from this artist? Nah Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Aye Actual Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed4.jpg |
